Mr. J. A. Bucknill on the 
on April 27th, but afterwards observed it in more or less 
abundance in the scrubby uncultivated grounds near the 
sea in all the localities which he visited. Pearse sent him 
many specimens. Guillemard found it, evidently arriving on 
migration, at the Limassol promontory on March 7th, and 
shot it afterwards in many different parts of the island from 
sea-level up to 2000 feet or more on the hills ; he did not 
find it common on the northern side of the Kyrenia range, 
but met with it in December on the Mesaoria plain on his 
second visit. Miss Bate found it common in summer on 
the Troodos range at 4600 feet. Glaszner sent to Madarasz 
alone more than a hundred specimens, taken at all times of 
the year and from all parts of the island. 
The species is evidently in the main a summer visitor, 
though a considerable number remain throughout the winter. 
Strangely enough, the nest and eggs have not been, so far as 
I am aware, yet taken or observed. 
To what has already been written on this bird in Cyprus 
I can add nothing. I have seen a fair number, and can only 
suggest that it nests in May. 
Begulus sp. inc. 
Jn March 1887 Guillemard observed a Regulus (which he 
could not clearly identify) at Episkopi, near Limassol. 
Probably it was R . ignicapillus (Brehm), which is common 
in the Taurus range. 
136. Phylloscopus trochilus (Linn.). 
The Willow-Wren is another spring and autumn visitor. 
It was included in Sibthorp's list; he took it on his ship on 
April 4th. Lord Lilford found it common, but not nearly 
so abundant as the Chiffchaff; Pearse obtained several 
specimens in October ; Guillemard does not mention it in his 
two articles. Glaszner sent Madarasz seven specimens 
taken near Laruaca and on the Troodos range in September 
and October. It is rather remarkable that although I have 
been extremely familiar with this species from boyhood I 
have never heard it in Cyprus, and the only occasion when 
1 have seen it was in early May of 1909 at Nicosia in some
